The Pinocchio Protocol: See What Others Miss

Pinocchio couldn’t lie because his nose got longer when he did.

This is a lesson for you.

To fight this, make important things visible and build signals for slow changes so you can address them sooner.

If you can measure important things that others miss, you’ll have a big advantage.
